5 Days of Wild NZ – Private Tracks & Epic Terrain | Motorcycle Tour

This is not your average motorcycle tour – this is five days of pure South Island wilderness, designed for experienced riders who crave the raw beauty and challenge of New Zealand’s legendary backcountry.

From barge crossings and river fords to cinematic passes and alpine ridgelines, you’ll traverse terrain few get to see – including exclusive access to private stations and off-grid routes. Ride through ancient river valleys, high country farmland, and dramatic gorges, then wind down in authentic huts, stations and historic inns.

You’ll be guided by expert locals, supported by a 4WD van, and accompanied by fellow adventure junkies – making this the ultimate off-road motorcycle experience in New Zealand.
